What Compensation Can I Recover After a Car Accident in Elizabeth, NJ?

After a car accident in Elizabeth, you may recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, vehicle repairs, and pain and suffering when another party is legally responsible. Future treatment costs and reduced earning ability may also be part of a claim.

Because New Jersey uses a no-fault system, your own personal injury protection coverage generally handles eligible medical bills first. The policy option you selected can affect whether you may seek pain and suffering damages from the driver who caused the crash.

If you make a claim, photographs, medical records, repair estimates, pay information, and insurance letters can help show how the collision affected you. Keeping those materials together can make missing information easier to identify.

When more than one policy may apply, compensation may come from sources beyond the other driver’s liability insurance. The circumstances of the crash, vehicle ownership, and the policies involved can determine what coverage is available.

Under New Jersey’s comparative negligence rule, you may still recover compensation if you share some fault for a crash. The amount you receive may be reduced based on your percentage of responsibility. If that percentage is more than 50 percent, you generally cannot recover compensation.

In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of a car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Certain circumstances may affect that deadline, so it is important to know the timeline that applies to your claim.

During the claims process, a lawyer can explain what to expect and help protect your rights. An attorney can also communicate with the insurance company and help you avoid mistakes that could affect your claim.
